As a CT native hes in a quiet part of the state but its beautiful. That campus has room to grow. Hes going to have building named after him soon. He going to bring money to build up their other programs as wel.
I agree with you.
GOD DAMM molly is annoying
always has been
To be 6-0 all time in the championship game is just insane
Law of averages will start to settle in
@@josephfraser4317you hope because your team keeps losing in the national championship game. Your team probably hasn't been there in years!😂
They need to mute Molly mic until the next take lol
You probably aren't married, are you? No escape from the women, bruh. Unless you're part of the rainbow coalition...
I can't imagine Kentucky not having facilities at least as good if not better than UCONN
lol
I hate her voice like shut up already. Annoying.
"Happy wife, happy life." sounds like an ultimatum, not a partnership.
😂that's exactly what that is😅
Every time I hear “happy wife, happy life” I cringe 😂
That coming from Molly who isn’t married lol.
been married almost 20 years, and that "happy wife happy life" stuff is nonsense for pushovers who essentially use their spouse as their new mommy lol
in reality for an actual healthy happy relationship, it's "mutually enjoyable life, or no wife" (and works vise versa for her too except it just doesn't rhyme)
I agree it’s such a simp attitude, nip that ishh in the bud before you get married
@@Bruce_Learoy She isn`t married yet. Her last two words on this chip was "take note". That was for SA. If you did not, they have been dating for over a year now.
Happy man is gods plan
Dan Hurley isn't leaving Connecticut for Kentucky. Let's put those rumors to bed because he isn't leaving the East Coast
You're his wife?
I dont think he is either...But you watch and see...He will use this to up his pay even more at Uconn..
I don't think he's leaving but how far away is Kentucky from Connecticut anyways? My map shows relatively close haha
@@glennlanham6309 if its his wife final decision then he is going to UK bc money and raises speak volumes to women lol
@@Faith12Manthank you- common sense always trumps opinions .
I just don’t understand why any coach would leave while they in that situation. Folks on ESPN be making up situations and then start believing in make believe.
it’s not even espn, uk fans are literally begging for Hurley to fix this mess and they are delusional. Next time when Uk fans wants to run someone out of town, have a back up plan, idiots.
Yeah it makes absolutely no sense to leave UCONN for any other program. UCONN has the best facilities and resources. UCONN Men and Women are a combine 17-1 in Championship games. That's Historically insane. They're the MECCA of college basketball.
Count it. $11 million a year for 5 years. He could still turn it down, but will UConn survive the Football realignments??
Molly never shuts up . Jesus
No wonder Jalen left her😂😂😂
3:43 Kentucky has 3 titles since 1996 ('96, '98, and '12). Maybe he meant to say 1999?
He said 1 tittle in 15 years
@@goldenspatian517He did but he also said one title since 96. Which is wrong.
@@josephwilson-doan4163 oh word, guess I didn’t catch that part
@@goldenspatian517 then he said one title since 96
SAS was dead wrong but right about coach Cal ruining Big Blue’s culture
Kentucky should Hire Adrian Griffin
Did he just say UK's facilites are "not even close to Uconns". That just seem like an patently bold lie. Doesnt Uconn play 1/2 their games in some hockey arena in Hartford and the other half in Gampel....not exactly a mecca? UK's practice facilty was state of the art when it opened in 2007 and probably needs it's 20 yr facelift, but even the Joe Craft Center wouldnt be classified as "not even close" when compared to the very best NBA practice facilities. Seth was UK's or should I say Cal's biggest partisan but now that Cal's filed for a divorce he's acting as his unhinged lawyer!
HEADLINES: KENTUCKY'S BLUE BLOOD CARD GET'S REVOKED!
3:46 Kentucky has 3 titles since 1996
Thats 27 years tho & their last title was 2012.
Sounds like Kentucky is looking in a different direction first anyway. Billy D is the guy with all the smoke, so there's got to be some fire.
Stephen A is 100% right. Hurley shouldn’t even consider Kentucky.
Kentucky has 3 titles since 1996
UConn fans love Hurley’s East coast lunacy, whereas other teams fans outside of the NY metro area don’t really understand it, so they will “love” him as long as he wins and despite of his East Coast lunacy
Did he say kentucky isn't the bluest of blue bloods. That's hilarious
Not hilarious, it’s true. You have one chip in how many years? Half your chips came from a time before TV was invented. Uconn has been a better program for 25 years. The only people that can’t see how far you have fallen are blinded fans like you
This is a ridiculous conversation. Hurley has no reason to leave Connecticut.
Kentucky gone try to throw seven Brink$ trucks at him.
Duke - UNC rivalry is still the best in college bball
Lol
@@josephfraser4317 you disagree? Which rivalry do you think is best?
Shannon “Can I ask you a question” Sharpe
Kentucky is a broken clock that won’t be fixed if Mitch hires the wrong person. Dan doesn’t need any parts of that
Cal broke it!! Plenty of watchmakers out there. This logic makes zero sense.
Im not a Kentucky fan im a Louisville fan and in this state basketball is 👑 the fan support is unreal here better program's or not i don't know but no other state can come close to our fans here period!
Honestly, there isn’t much else in that area. In New England, college sports can’t compare to the pros in support.
@@bumblebeemoi Maybe in New York and Massachusetts, but Connecticut doesn't have a pro sports team and even though a lot of people support NY and Boston teams, UConn basketball is still king in the state.
@@TurboFist0 oh I know that for sure having lived in CT for 7 years and growing up in MA only 35 miles from Hartford. Plus I started at Northeastern the same year Calhoun did. I am still a huge fan of his and didn’t stop loving UConn. I think the difference in there isn’t much else to root for in KY vs all the other sports around CT.
I meant difference is there isn’t much else in KY.
2 titles since 96...... don't forget about Tubby in 98, but UCONN is where it's at
He needs to stay with UConn and save himself the headache
Kentucky can pay him 11 to 15 million, and has a HUGE NIL budget. UConn cannot match that.
UConn is 2 for 2 in winning national championships since the NIL era began
Seth made a good point. I wonder what conversations the Big East is having with the SEC and Big Ten for the eventual NCAA split. A basketball tournament will happen and the Big East will want in on it.
No Molly. Happy spouse, happy house. Thats how it should be.
And jalen rose wasn't happy
Who let Molly get her 2 cents in
She's a UConn fan. Let her have some fun lol.
Dan Hurley honored his commitments as a husband....he said "check with the wife," especially when it comes to the question of leaving UConn for Kentucky. Smart man. #HusbandOfTheYear
Dan isn't leaving. He has everything he wants and needs at UCONN.
But Kentucky can give him more…..we got SEC money, big east ain’t got that kind of revenue.
@@ajg8722Kentucky can give him more problems. He’s recreated what Calhoun started. He’s on a roll. Why try to fix what Calipari screwed up?
I’d love Hurley to come to Lexington but it’s not happening
Not only is UConn the better program right now but he’s from Jersey City so he’s close to home and his family
The program doesn't make the coach, the coach makes the program. So Kentucky not winning in a while shouldn't be a deterrent
Revisionist history. We will be solid next year without question
The chemistry between Molly & SAS is the BEST ON TV! Molly always keep him in check, even when he gets out of line! NO OTHER DUO ON TELEVISION IS BETTER THAN MOLLY QERIM & STEPHEN A. SMITH! Take note, people! Carry on.
She loves Jersey so much she lives in Connecticut! With the money UK can throw at them they can afford a private plane and be in Jersey in an hour vs her 2 or 3 hour drive. Calipari has a beach house in Jersey. Maybe they can buy it off him!
You don’t think they also have a home in jersey?
Amen!!
Being from Jersey I can’t imagine either one fitting into that culture where image and demeanor is critical. They are in your face people and the Northeast fits them.
Well yeah they play in CT lol no ish also Jersey & CT are neighbors 😂😂
Kentucky is a new challenge. if he won a couple at Kentucky he would be up there with Coach K.
It would be dumb to leave unless it’s for the pros
Kentucky is not a challenge. Calipari is just a lousy coach and recruits players who don't even want to play college basketball and are only there because of the one and done rule. Get a coach like Bryce Drew and he'll recruit the right players, a mix of McDonald's All Americans and all-state players who are focused on winning college championships and getting their degrees.
Ewww
I disagree. Kentucky is a blue blood program.
He's going past coach k 😂 he's been there for 7 years and got two already. Are you on Crack?? 😂😂😂 can you imagine what he can do in 30 years ?? T.f
Dan Hurley SHOULD STAY at Kentucky!!
That would be stupid if leave UConn for Kentucky
Molly you been most amazing host I ever see.
Thank you Shannon, truth hurts
10 years now in this environment and people still think coaches are loyal. If they offer him enough money he is gone period. If they don't he staying. How many fanbase have been crush over the last 15 years to realize money talk. All the titles sound good, my wife this my wife that. If the money right he leaving period.
You’re wrong. His father was never about money and he is in that image. Time will tell.
Grown man calling himself Shay Shay is crazy .
Bot
Molly talks too much
Tooooo much man
Molly is insufferable
You guys kiddin'? At this point, UConn is a better legacy. Big East BBall is stacked top to bottom with players and coaches.. UConn, Villanova, Creighton well coached, St Johns on the rise, Seton Hall won the NIT after the playoff snub, Marquette, Im not even naming any more teams its just ridiculous.
big east isnt stacked but uconn rejoining was the best decision they made😊. big east ust to be stacked till they ruined it i loved the big monday matchups.
@@BrianK-zz4fk The BIG EAST is the best basketball conference, hands down!
I hope Kentucky offers Doc Rivers a job
College basketball is a diluted product. Look at the other #1 seeds this year. Houston couldn't shoot and didn't have a player above 6'7", Purdue was unathletic and opportunistic, North Carolina was mediocre and overrated by people who wanted to believe RJ Davis and Bacot were any good. Until the NCAA changes its rules and forces players to stay at least three years, this trend will continue.
That’s true
Unfortunately this is true. With NIL, I am hoping more players decide to stay longer but it's hard to imagine anyone wanting to do that.
UNC wasn't mediocre. Davis just had his worst game at the worst time
if it was diluted wouldnt you have more close games? 64 closer to 1 than ever before right?
You are right. Guys have not developed, both in skills and in star power. Plus, fans have to say goodbye to their best and get used to new guys every year. It’s harder to maintain a high level of interest. Give me Tim Duncan
Dan Hurley be coaching the Knicks next😅😊
Did he say that UK's facilities aren't close to UCONN's? He's kidding right? Not saying that he should or would come... but... facilities?
Any coach will leave if you throw money at them, Pitino left UK after having them at the top of their game.
You'd be surprised what someone would do for a 3 million dollar addition to their yearly income..
Tennessee is the premier program of the SEC
Don't see Dan Hurley leaving Uconn unless it's for the NBA.
He is not leaving...But im sure he will use this occasion to up his pay with Uconn..............
ESPN running out of stories again 🤣
Molly stop cutting them off!!!
I usually defend Molly on all of the hate she gets but man….I get people’s frustrations with her. She’s needs to calm down 😬
Leave?K With the opportunity to win three in a row? No way!
Last 25 years sure but all time program no Kentucky is the best
That would be UCLA, not even close
Kentucky culture loves history. The northeast demands results -right now
Unc having a bad day he losing every debate today lol
Uconn is every bit a blue blood as Kentucky is and has been the better program over the last 25 years.
They got Kentucky messed up lmao
To coach Kentucky you have to live in Kentucky. No thanks. If Kentucky has the money how come UConn has won six titles in the last 25 years. Stop this nonsense.
No one understands Storrs. This is NOT a storyline. Stop trying to make it one.
I don't know one uconn fan outside if the north east. I know uk fans in London and Philippines... enough said
Me and the test of Husky Nation
UK going to at least bid up Hurley's salary to the point that they bankrupt the uconn athletic department. They'll have to get loan or raid the endowment to pay him. UConn is already in a -$50M deficit so UK can leverage that SEC FB contract money to either poach Hurley or at least unsettle the program financially so they cant afford the fancy charter flights or the extra analytics guy or whatever!
The ACC doesn't need CT.......
Hurley already said he is not interested in KY. And UConn is paying him well. He is building a better program at UConn vs. at KY he would be trying to resurrect one. Jersey shore very attractive to him verses landlocked KY. UConn is a better academic school. And maybe Hurley is more a blue than red state fan?
Good point about blue and red. Can’t imagine him fitting into that image obsessed culture as well as their politics.
Jeff bezos’ ex wife said she has too much money and started giving it away Shannon 😂
Caliparii is a good gonna work but his whampam-thank-you -ma’m wont work
Please listen to Molly she knows guys
Hurley needs to stay at U Conn!!!!!
I hear Uk offered him $11 million a year for 5 years.
Only place Dan Hurley would consider is the Knicks and Boston
Yall calling Molly annoying but if the Knicks had just won a chip, Stephen A would be insufferable
Money talk
Kentucky has 3 national ttiles since 1996, not one Stephen
Hurley's next stop will be the NBA.
Hurley should stay where he's at if anything Kentucky could get Rick Patino but I don't know.
Pitino is a cadaver anymore
Mr hookers
I'm from the future: he did not
UK has 3 titles since ‘96
Since people don’t care about UK, go look at the ratings from this past season.
I only came here because my buddy was saying how much foolishness was being spewed on here and I won’t be back. Shannon only one with any common sense on this panel.
1 title since 96.....how about 2 Mr. Smith college boy
As much as I dislike UCONN, that school knows how to cultivate winning programs. If they ACTUALLY decide to get serious about investing into football, I think they could be relevant. Not necessarily " Natty" relevant, but ...." Good".
Uk won in 98 so 2 since 96 Stephen a
Molly is outside of her mind. 🤦😂
Dan Hurley isn't coming to Kentucky. Pass the smelling salts.
You everywhere. 😅😅😅
And this is a joke. One is Greenberg blew off the Currys and it cost him his job at VTech. UConn could pay Kevin Ollie but chooses to fight it in Court. These black parents make me sick to my stomach.@@KNByam
He will stay with Connecticut
What a crock. ESPN's own Encyclopedia of College Basketball listed Uk as the number one overall program. Oops. Even Cal cant ruin us.
Fan support yes but on the way out of being highly competitive.
@@bumblebeemoi Y'all don't think too hard. That's because of Cal!! In 2015, we had just finished 4 final fours and a Title in 6 years. Now Kentucky is a nobody? No sense of History. We have a 22,000 seat arena, and better facilities than UConn by far. And 8 titles, highest winning percentage, most wins, most trips to NCAA tourney, on and on. We will pay $10 million to whoever takes it. Not Scott Drew. And true, Hurley won't fit Kentucky culture. He would be throwing an F bomb in the first presser and they would run him out of three room. Next candidate.
Why is this even a topic? You guys just need to talk about something
Happy wife happy life wow
Why is Molly still there
Fire Molly immediately.
Dude on right always yelling at me
Stephen A smith doesn’t know basketball.
Duke and kentucky both have thebsame amount of championships since 1996 (3) they also havent won a title os a decade keep the same energy talking about duke from now on
Yeh that’s is this man in white cap no longer coaching…
Molly's "contributions" irk me
